invalid user in api call

Question

Hello, I receive an error while calling the api via the webservice in a survey workflow and also by using an external python script: {"errorMessage":"invalid_client","errorCode":"AUTH_6.0"}I have set the api token as authentication. Any idea what causes the error? Is it possible that I can create an api token, but have no permission to use it?This is the python script (not incl. my ids and token): import requestsdef copy_survey(api_token, data_center, owner_id, template_id):    # Construct the URL    url = f'https://{data_center}.qualtrics.com/API/v3/survey-definitions'        # Headers for the request    headers = {        'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_token}',        'Content-Type': 'application/json'    }        # Data (payload) of the POST request    data = {        "SurveyName": "Copied Survey",        "SurveyDescription": "This is a survey copied from a template.",        "ProjectCategory": "Academic",        "SurveyOwnerID": owner_id,        "SurveyTemplateID": template_id    }        # Make the POST request    response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)        # Check if the request was successful    if response.status_code == 200:        print("Survey copied successfully!")        return response.json()  # Return the JSON response from the API    else:        print("Failed to copy the survey. Status code:", response.status_code)        return response.text  # Return the error response if not successful# Replace the following variables with your actual dataAPI_TOKEN = 'your_api_token_here'DATA_CENTER = 'your_data_center_id_here'  # e.g., 'ca1', 'eu', 'us', etc.OWNER_ID = 'your_qualtrics_user_id'TEMPLATE_ID = 'template_survey_id_to_copy'# Call the function to copy the surveyresponse_data = copy_survey(API_TOKEN, DATA_CENTER, OWNER_ID, TEMPLATE_ID)print(response_data)

Hello -Using the API,I am not aware of a way to reference a template_id. That said, here is how I copy a survey (not its data, its actual design structure).First, I get an existing survey (get_survey) and then write the resultant qsf down to a temp file.Second, I import the qsf into a new survey.Best,Carol##################import requestsimport jsondef get_survey(api_token, data_center, owner_id, survey_id):  baseUrl = "https://{0}.qualtrics.com/API/v3/survey-definitions/{1}?format=qsf".format(data_center, survey_id)  headers = {    "Content-Type": "application/json",    "X-API-TOKEN": api_token  }  response = requests.request("GET", baseUrl, headers=headers)  jsonResponse = json.loads(response.text)  # convert the text JSON to a JSON object  print("export status: ",jsonResponse['meta']['httpStatus'])  return jsonResponse def import_survey(api_token, data_center, survey_name, qsf):  baseUrl = "https://{0}.qualtrics.com/API/v3/surveys".format(data_center)  headers = {    "x-api-token": api_token    }  files = {    'file': (qsf, open(qsf, 'rb'), 'application/vnd.qualtrics.survey.qsf')   }  data = { "name": survey_name }  response = requests.post(baseUrl, files=files, data=data, headers=headers)  return response.textAPI_TOKEN = 'TOKEN' # in your account settingsDATA_CENTER = 'iad1' # e.g., 'ca1', 'eu', 'us', etc.OWNER_ID = 'UR_000000000000'. # in your account settingsSURVEY_ID = 'SV_0000000000000' # the survey you want to copy FROMNEW_SURVEY_NAME = "Example_0416" # the name of the new surveySURVEY_QSF = "temp_survey.qsf" # just a temp file to hold the exported survey json (qsf)LANG = "EN"PLATFORM = "CORE"qsf_data = get_survey(API_TOKEN, DATA_CENTER, OWNER_ID, SURVEY_ID)with open(SURVEY_QSF, 'w') as jsonFile:  jsonFile.write(json.dumps(qsf_data["result"], indent=2))import_data = import_survey(API_TOKEN, DATA_CENTER, NEW_SURVEY_NAME, SURVEY_QSF)

Thanks. Indeed it works only via qsf file. But my api is still not running. Need to check if there are company restrictions.
